I never meant it to be a slam on you, so glad you didn't take it that way. I
lost my kitty "Nermal" to a fire. It was the devastation of my life. I no
longer leave candles anywhere in the house unless I'm there, but as I said it's
not an issue any more. Candles and birds are not companions. Their little
lungs are delicate. They are probably much hardier than they say in all the
literature, but I'd rather stay on the safe side.

Glad your kitty was none the worse for wear.

You cant be serious with that response. "Fat baboon ass"? "Monkey brain"?
Was the school bell about to ring and you couldnt think of anything else?
Good comeback.

Where you been hiding, monkey boy? Or should I say Mr. Peepers?

Its been so long since I posted that that I gave you up for lost.

Was almost ready to have your monkey face posted on milk cartons!!!

You'll probably have problem with pets and plants if you feed the plants
meat. Eventually Snoppy or Garfield will smell it, get curious and
probably redecorate your aquarium.

It wouldn't surprise me if a lot of carnivorous plants are poisonous, given
they would probably need protection from starving herbivores that wandered
into a bog with not much else edible around.

I have a carniverous plant query so might as well insert it into this
existing thread. My White Topped Pitcher Plant got trampled to the ground
by a racoon a year ago & never fully recovered; it tried but did not
succeed in producing even one full trumpet this rest of the year. It's
still alive; it produced long tall unfinished trumpets, but they never got
to the point where it could "eat." The "rootball" is minimal & merely
anchors it, I don't believe it gets ANY nourishment from the soil. So, is
there any chance this plant may still bounce back next year? Without
having caught even one moth or bug, it seems it'll have to be even weaker
next year than it was this past year so is just doomed. It was so pretty
before the racoon got it. Will I have to give up & get another one
altogether??

Thanks, will try foliered seaweed, never heard of doing that. It does live
in a colony of sorts, but it's the only white trumpet sarracenia, the rest
of the grouping consists of very strong Purple Pitcher Plants which are
much shorter (almost prostrate) sarracenias, plus a single not-as-strong
hybrid called ladies-in-waiting which in two years has remained rather
dwarfed. They used to share the bog with a cobra plant but it sent out
runners & spread willynilly so I had to separate those into their own
little bog (the cobra was also racoon-trounced but bounced back with extreme speed).

There is not a plant I know of which cannot or does not benefit from foliar
fertilization. Seaweed has so many incredible properties, one of which is a
great range of trace elements, and can give a range of protection to plants
which are living on the cusp of a zone change. For example, here where I am, it
can be 8b-9a some years, 8a-8b some others. Doesn't sound like a wide range,
but it is. Seaweed can protect plants and help them through light frosts of 32
degrees better than if no seaweed had been administered throughout the seasons.

Try it. I'd be interested to know if or when you see new growth emerge.
